This enables Elasticsearch to use the JVM-wide configured
PKCS#11 token as a keystore or a truststore for its TLS configuration.
The JVM is assumed to be configured accordingly with the appropriate
Security Provider implementation that supports PKCS#11 tokens.
For the PKCS#11 token to be used as a keystore or a truststore for an
SSLConfiguration, the .keystore.type or .truststore.type must be
explicitly set to pkcs11 in the configuration.
The fact that the PKCS#11 token configuration is JVM wide implies that
there is only one available keystore and truststore that can be used by TLS
configurations in Elasticsearch.
The PIN for the PKCS#11 token can be set as a truststore parameter in
Elasticsearch or as a JVM parameter ( -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword).
The basic goal of enabling PKCS#11 token support is to allow PKCS#11-NSS in
FIPS mode to be used as a FIPS 140-2 enabled Security Provider.

Authorization Realms allow an authenticating realm to delegate the task
of constructing a User object (with name, roles, etc) to one or more
other realms.
E.g. A client could authenticate using PKI, but then delegate to an LDAP
realm. The LDAP realm performs a "lookup" by principal, and then does
regular role-mapping from the discovered user.
This commit includes:
- authorization_realm support in the pki, ldap, saml & kerberos realms
- docs for authorization_realms
- checks that there are no "authorization chains"
(whereby "realm-a" delegates to "realm-b", but "realm-b" delegates to "realm-c")
Authorization realms is a platinum feature.
Add documentation for #31238
- Add documentation for the req_authn_context_class_ref setting
- Add a section in SAML Guide regarding the use of SAML
Authentication Context.
* Add relevant documentation for FIPS 140-2 compliance.
* Introduce `fips_mode` setting.
* Discuss necessary configuration for FIPS 140-2
* Discuss introduced limitations by FIPS 140-2
* [DOCS] Add configurable password hashing docs
Adds documentation about the newly introduced configuration option
for setting the password hashing algorithm to be used for the users
cache and for storing credentials for the native and file realm.
This commit adds documentation for configuring Kerberos realm.
Configuring Kerberos realm documentation highlights important
terminology and requirements before creating Kerberos realm.
Most of the documentation is centered around configuration from
Elasticsearch rather than go deep into Kerberos implementation.
Kerberos realm settings are mentioned in the security settings
for Kerberos realm.
With this commit we remove the documentation for the setting
`xpack.monitoring.collection.indices.stats.timeout` which has already
been removed in code.
